did you loosen the upper gearbox mount at the same time? That's what you have to do to eliminate vibration. Loosen the 2 bolts either side of the gearbox mount AND the 4 bolts on the upper mount all at the same time (only a couple of turns needed) pull the engine back and forth a couple of...

I like to completely submerge the body in de-greaser and scrub it thoroughly with a stiff brush, then brake cleaner to rinse it off, then white grease the spring and spindle

http://www.lextreme.com/valve_seals.html done on a v8, but mostly the same theory

I've seen springs changed on engines without removing the head ;) not on a F4R, but not an immposibilty at all, there's a few different tools to do it. I wouldn't personally, screw risking dropping a collet down an oilway

that's not conclusive. As said, not mapped for it yet. What it did do is smooth out the big hole in the torque curve

well it says in the ad that they're re-profiled, and it's no secret that the F4R doesn't cope very well with re-profiled cams as the base circle becomes too small and the lash adjusters (tappets) reach their limit of travel and the top end becomes noisy

few mechanical diagnostics checks you can do, but you can only really get a good indication rather than a definitive answer. Does sound a lot like the water pump, and it's not too hard to get access to it and see if it's been leaking. There will be white scale under the pulley, most likely. not...

my what? LOL

LIES!!!!!! polo bummer

ok, one pad on each side should have a small nipple on it, this has to locate in a slot in the piston. You have to turn the piston so that it lines up

doing 1 mount at a time = vibrations. you have to put all the mounts on loosely, rock the engine so it all sits naturally, then tighten everything

you did release the handbrake didn't you?

not bad. Needs cams. Really dirty ones

standard pads are Ferodo

looks like they are, just old and worn out. Seen loads like that, the renault 72k interval is a joke

The point isn't the car at all, the point is the feat of engineering. the shell without the engine is worth about £50. Gordon spent years building that car and it's an animal

plenty of examples of F7's that dont make book power too. Just because you dont understand it, doesn't make it wrong the F4R is a big step forward from the F7R, they're a closely related engine obviously. The megane F7R is a step forward from the williams F7R in the same way. Technology...

never go on Driftworks. lol

I'd have a v8 s13, but it would be a VQ45

we SHOULD :D

get in line ;)

200sx's didn't. some Jap 180sx's did (not all, just the inferior ones ;) )

confusing yourself with all your log-ins again? awww bless

LOL that's Gordons. it's awesome oh and SR fcuking 20??????????? get to f**k CA18DET motherfucker!!!

probably a 736. not much difference between them anyway. why do you need to know?

talking out of your arse again. I dont know why i'm dignifying this with a reply. The F4R IS a superior engine. It DOES make more power, more torque and is more reliable. Low outputs are normally down to faulty assembly, the example you gave being the perfect case study....the cam timing was out...

i smell a troll

LOL, I dont really know any non petrol heads. I gave one of my customers (garage owner) a lift in my mk1 the other day, and the next day he dug his williams 3 out of storage and sent it to the auto electricians to FINALLY be fixed. Nearly all of my friends are car people or reformed car people...

you want to get a 200sx engine in it Si ;)
